ENGINEERING
(EGR)

1303 Exploring the Engineering Profession
(3-1) 3 hours credit.
Engineering as a career; contemporary issues; academic and career resources; written and oral communication; effective team membership; professional and ethical responsibilities; professional registration; engineering problem formulation and solution; engineering design. One hour of recitation per week.

2103 Statics
(3-0) 3 hours credit. Prerequisites: MAT 1223 and PHY 1904.
Vector analysis of force systems applied to particles and rigid bodies and free body diagrams. Engineering applications of equilibrium; of moments, internal forces, and friction; and of centroids, centers of gravity, and moments of inertia. One hour of problem solving recitation. [TCCN: ENGR 2301.]

2213 Statics and Dynamics
(3-1) 3 hours credit. Prerequisites: MAT 1223 and PHY 1904.
Force, moment, equilibrium, centroids and moments of inertia, kinematics, and kinetics of particles. Not open to students in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. May not be substituted for EGR 2103. One hour of problem solving recitation. [TCCN: ENGR 2303.]

2323 Applied Engineering Analysis I
(3-1) 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: MAT 1223.
Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems using linear algebra and ordinary differential equations (ODE's). Use of software tools. Topics include: mathematical modeling of engineering problems; separable ODE's; first-, second-, and higher-order linear constant coefficient ODE's; characteristic equation of an ODE; systems of coupled first-order ODE's; matrix addition and multiplication; solution of a linear system of equations via Gauss elimination and Cramer's rule; rank, determinant, and inverse of a matrix; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; solution of an ODE via Laplace transform; numerical solution of ODE's. One hour of problem solving recitation.

3301 Engineering Co-op
1 hour credit. Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Cooperative Education in Engineering Program.
Designed for students participating in Cooperative Education in Engineering Program. Problems related to students' work assignments during their work for co-op employers. May be repeated for credit, but no more than 3 semester credit hours of Engineering Co-op may apply to a bachelor's degree. To apply 3 semester credit hours of Engineering Co-op as a technical elective towards a degree in engineering, students must petition and get approval of a faculty advisor prior to co-op activities. The grade report for the course is either “CR” (satisfactory performance) or “NC” (unsatisfactory performance).

3323 Applied Engineering Analysis II
(3-1) 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: EGR 2323.
Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems using vector differential and integral calculus, multivariable calculus, partial differential equations, and Fourier series; and use of software tools. One hour of problem solving recitation.

3713 Engineering Economic Analysis
(3-0) 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: CE 2633.
Fundamentals of economics and economic policies; techniques of investment analysis for engineering decisions; and discussion of professional practice-ethics, project management, proposal preparation, and communication. (Formerly EGR 4713. Credit cannot be earned for both EGR 3713 and EGR 4713.)

4953 Special Studies in Engineering
(3-0) 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
An organized course offering the opportunity for specialized study not normally or not often available as part of the regular course offerings. Special Studies may be repeated for credit when topics vary, but not more than 6 semester credit hours, regardless of discipline, will apply to a bachelor's degree.

4993 Honors Research
3 hours credit. Prerequisite: Enrollment limited to candidates for college honors during their last two semesters; approval by the College Honors Committee.
Supervised research and preparation of an honors thesis. May be repeated once with approval.
